MAX BREMER, OF NEW BEDFORD, MASSACHUSETTS.

CASKET-HANDLE.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 442,949, dated December 16, 1890.

Application filed September 25, 1890- Serial No. 366,074. (No model.)

To all whom/it may concern.-

Be it known that I, MAX BREMER, of New Bedford, in the county of Bristol and State of Massachusetts, have invented an Improved Lug for Casket-Handles, of which the following is a specification, reference being bad to the accompanying drawings, forming part hereof, in which- Figure 1 is a vertical section of one of my improved lugs. Figs. 2 and 3 are elevations of its two parts detached.

My invention consists in a lug in two pieces, one having a projection from one edge which fits into a recess in the adjoining edge of the other, and which is secured to a boss formed on the inner surface of the other-that is to say, one piece has a projection and the other piece has a recess and a boss, the projection on one piece fitting in the recess and onto the boss of the other piece.

In the drawings, A is the lower part of my compound lug, and a is a projection extending from its upper edge, and except for this projection a it is in all respects the same as the casketlug in common use.

A is the upper part of my compound lug, formed with the boss a and the recess a The projection Ct fits the recess a and is held to the boss a by a screw, as shown in the drawings.

The main advantage of my invention is that the parts A and A may be contrasting, and in this way a large variety of styles of lugs may be produced.

The parts A A are usually of metal; but the upper A is sometimes of wood, wlth a covering of textile fabric.

Of course the projection to may be on the upper part A and the boss a and recess a in the lower part; but I prefer the plan shown.

- I am aware of Chapmans patent, No. 137,289, dated April 1,. 1873, Baileys patent, No. 238,328, dated March 1, 1881, and No. 163,557, dated May 18, 1875, and disclaim all that is set forth by them.

What I claim as my invention is The compound lug for caskets above described, composed of the parts A A, one of which has a rigid lateral projection a and the other boss at and recess a all substantially as set forth.

MAX BREMER.
